MYRTLE WARBLER. The haunts of the Myrtle 



Warbler were chiefly on 

 or near the ground. They fed upon some grapes 

 which I placed outside after a storm, eating either the 

 pulp or the skin, but leaving the seeds. A few of these 

 Warblers were observed during the winter, but not 

 until spring did they become noticeable for their abun- 

 dance. 



FLORIDA YELLOW-THROAT. The first date on 



which I record- 

 ed this bird in song was on March 16. Each swamp 

 has its pair of these birds and before they commence 

 singing their calls may at any time be heard. 



BEWICK'S WREN. The notes of this species are 



numerous and are as follows: 

 A scolding similar to that of an English Sparrow, 

 but harsher. 



A "chip" like a Song Sparrow's note. 



A low bubbling given while in flight ( probably part 

 of song) . 



A sharp click. 



A rattle similar to that of a locust when heard 

 nearby. 



CAROLINA WREN. The Carolina Wren's notes 



consist of a "tu-wheedle" re- 

 peated four or five times and a short, bubbling, closely 

 connected trill consisting of four or five notes. The 

 intervals between song in uninterrupted periods of 

 singing was, for the first, in seconds : greatest 7, aver- 

 age 6, least 5; of the second, greatest 5, average 4,
